SchoolTool Parent Portal

Harrisville Central School District uses a web-based student data management system known as SchoolTool. This system allows parents to monitor their student’s progress at any time. This can be helpful to monitor attendance, work completion or grades on exams/tests.

In order to take advantage of SchoolTool, you must establish an account. You may make a SchoolTool Parent Portal Account Request online. Once you have received your new account, it is recommended to review the SchoolTool Tutorial.
